One Day Circling Immersion

Connection is often our deepest longing — and simultaneously, our greatest fear. We may secretly yearn to be seen and met, while taking great care to appear invisible or to shape the way others perceive us.

Circling is a practice that allows us to slow down and explore this dynamic. It brings our attention to what arises in us as we relate with others — and invites us to make contact with all that we are, then gently reveal that in relationship.

There is no goal or destination here. Instead, we drop into the immediacy of experience, uncovering long-forgotten parts of ourselves and often entering profound states of connection and insight.

Circling practice expands our ability to be with others, deepens our capacity for presence, and nurtures personal and collective trust.


✨ WHAT TO EXPECT

This day-long immersion takes place in a cozy space of the House of Now in Courtney. The group is capped at 12 participants to ensure a deeply held, intimate container.

We begin the day with foundational Circling practices in pairs, triads, and small groups, then move into Organic Circling allowing our collective attention to follow what feels most alive.

No experience necessary. Whether you're brand new or well-practiced, you'll be met right where you are.

We'll take a lunch break — you're welcome to bring food or explore the area. Tea will be provided throughout the day.

THIS FOR YOU?

Circling is a potent, emotionally rigorous practice. It invites us into the unknown — to feel what's here, even when it's uncomfortable. We often explore unfamiliar emotions such as shame, desire, anger, vulnerability, or grief, as well as joy, curiosity, and deep love.

We call this the "commitment to connection" — a courageous willingness to stay with what’s true, while honoring your own boundaries and capacity.

If you're navigating significant emotional challenges or feel unsure about your ability to stay resourced in group settings, this may not be the right time to attend. We ask that participants take full responsibility for their own well-being and participation at all times.


💰 COST:

Early Bird: $80 if paid by May 21st

Regular: $110 after May 21st


👥 Space is limited to just 12 participants — reserve your spot early!

🧘‍♀️ ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR

Hi, I’m Mahaya, and I’ve been facilitating Circling and transformational relational spaces for several years — in-person, online, and at festivals. My background weaves together psychosomatic therapy, trauma-informed facilitation, and mindfulness-based healing.

My spaces are known for their depth, spaciousness, and emotional attunement. I guide with sensitivity and presence, holding space for you to drop deeply into your own truth — and to meet others there, too.

There’s no right way to be here. Only the truth of what’s alive for you in each moment.
